Jean Calvin did not advocate for congregational singing in worship services

[edit]

Hi all, I'm not familiar with Wikipedia's talk page/feature so apologies for any issues with formatting or convention. It is my understanding that Calvin (in line with others like Zwingli or Karstadt) was against not just congregational, but any sort of singing in church services for fear that it would prevent the congregation from being appropriately serious in their piety. He did however, encourage singing in groups and in the vernacular, outside of church settings, and did believe in a positive use for music in religion, which is where the Genevan Psalter came into the picture. I don't consider myself enough of an expert on the topic to edit the article myself, but I wanted to raise it to bring it to the attention of someone who's qualified enough.

All best! 89.105.107.218 (talk) 13:56, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
